| Research Abstract |
On the development of an expert system for selecting the optimum cutting conditions, system architecture and fundamental functions are examined. The way of thinking of expert tool engineers for obtaining the optimum cutting conditions was first examined through a questionary investigation. In the system the frame construction was used for knowledge representation and inference because it was found to be similar to tool engineers' knowledge architecture.
The system was then constructed so as to possess the same functions as those in their way of thinking. The most important functions of the system are the prediction and the resolution of machining troubles such as chatter vibration, excessive tool wear and rough surface finish. Two different approaches are taken depending upon the kind of the troubles, which are retrieving data method with aid of the evaluating functions and analytical method through the algorithm of the metal cutting theories. The functions for self-enrichment of database and learning of knowledge were developed in order to improve the system ability. The function which explains the process of inference to user further developed. The expert system developed was applied to the several turning operations and it proved to be effective in the prediction of machining troubles and the decision of initial cutting conditions.
